Our Bodies Our Selves

The Mr T Experience Our Bodies Our Selves Lyrics
1.The Dustbin Of History

You don't have to worry now*
It's never again again
You don't have to figure it out
You wouldn't know where to begin
It's so simple, but neither of us know
What might have been
'Cause you saw through the label
And you saw through the skin
When you saw through the cable
I won't see you again
You can count on your pebbles
And your night will wear of
A package of devils to open it up

If life can't (?) headed down the slide
Then that's one truth that can never be denied
Now we'll need a map to find the other side.
It's not exactly what you had in mind.
Well you can sign me
Cue where you'll find me
In the dustbin of history

Where what you thought was almost gone
Keeps going on and on and on
You say that you'd rather not say
You say everybody was loved
Now you're looking for anything at all to hang it on
And you're at the foundation
And you're making a mess
When you finish erasing
There won't be much left.
Welcome to obsolescence.
It's kind of the thrill.
One of life's little lessons happening still

We'll steal your old illustrious career
It feels so cold and sounds so insincere
But then you might just hold on for another year
And when it's over I'll be waiting here
But you whenever
We'll be together
In the dustbin of history

History (3x)


2.Personality Seminar

It's got to be got together things must be nailed to the ground
things must be tied to each other things which must be figured
out why I'm alive and what I'm doing with my life and what I
should have tried to do and how I'm going to make it through
through through I think I might be sure now if I can only learn
how everything will turn out A OK and everything's going to be
great now that we've made all progress now we can finally relax
we know the means and the object and now there's no turning back
why can't I lose that feeling of impending doom when I see what
I must choose and think of what I have to do do do I think I've
got a feeling I feel I've got a reason I was only thinking it's
okay and I don't want to think anymore I don't want to think
anymore I don't want to think anymore*


3.Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret

Are you there God? It's me Margaret. I'm so scared God. Why
can't I stop it? Girl or woman am I now a Christian or a Jew
what's a girl supposed to do? Maybe I try too hard, maybe I go
too far, maybe there's something more. Are you there God? It's
me Margaret. I'm a teenaged afterthought, I'm a symbolette.
Sometimes I just wish that I was Harriet the Spy or a pretty
butterfly. Maybe I try too hard maybe I go too far maybe there's
something wrong. I'll lock myself in the bathroom or hang myself
in the classroom then I won't have to go and that's the second
time I swear almost a woman now oh yeah it's a special time
something we all share. Are you there God? It's me Margaret.
You're the one I want let's not forget fondness makes the heart
grow absent don't you think that's true? What's a girl supposed
to do? Maybe I try too hard, maybe I go too far, maybe there's
something more*


4.Martyr

If you try to be a martyr it will only slow you down and I'll
cry a little harder as I wrap you in your shroud but it's never
going to happen and it's never going to count and there's
nothing we can do about it now. Once we had so many options, now
they're narrowed down to one and it's sad to see you watching
while the damage has begun. If it's not what you expected I
expected more from you and I'm sorry but there's nothing we can
do about it now. And I'm all overcome with apathy, doesn't have
anything to do with me. If you think I should feel responsible I
don't know anything is possible. Picture of you in my head and
I'm waiting here in my bed it's an iron maiden I heard what you
said but I can't remember something about my neck. And at last
you'll be a martyr as you're crying on the stairs soon you'll be
flashing your stigmata and repackaging your prayers. And we'll
hang you in the parlor and we'll cut you into squares and we'll
think of you when anybody swears but there's nothing we can do
about it now*


5.Even Hitler Had A Girlfriend

I still haven't found a girlfriend though I've tried a lot so
can you help me please it's tougher than I thought. The odds are
pretty good but the goods are pretty odd still at this point I'd
take anything you've got. You see this all the time nice girls
in love with jerks what could they be thinking tell me how it
works. If I've got some problems well I wouldn't be the first
but the ones I have in mind are even worse and even Hitler had a
girlfriend who he could always call who'd always be there for
him in spite of all his faults. He was the worst guy ever
reviled and despised even Hitler had a girlfriend so why can't
I? life is full of contradictions hard to understand and for
every happy woman there's a lonely man. Nixon had his puppy
Charles Manson had his clan but God forbid that I get a
girlfriend. Even Hitler had a girlfriend who he could call his
own to sweeten days of bitterness and feeling all alone. I'm not
as bad as Hitler but it doesn't mean a thing since they'd rather
be with Hitler more than me I don't see why they'd rather be
with Hitler more than me*

8.More Than Toast

Is it efficient or does it kill with the skill of a cluster
bomb? It'll take time but you know it will if I happen to live
that long if you would listen to me things wouldn't seem so
gloomy now you keep jamming up the gears and I can't see through
the smears and everything's exactly as it appears more I love
you more I love you more than I did before but now it's either
or or neither nor and when I think about you I start turning
green and it shakes me up inside cause it used to be the color
of your eyes everywhere I go I see your ghost the spirit of '91
you said you loved me more than toast but less than a staplegun
is this the wrong direction? that's such a stupid question now
when you make a sacrifice you're supposed to get a wish why does
this only work in theory not practice? more I love you more I
love you more than I did before but now it's not allowed you're
not around I see you going out and everything goes black and I
start to fall apart it reminds me of the color of your heart I
miss you more than mud lost you more than blood knead you more
than dough I love you more than toast more I love you more I
love you more than I did before but now we're in a war and
what's it for? I read your horoscope and everything is clear and
it feels a little weird cause it used to be the color of your
tears*


9.Swallow Everything

There were things I could have told you but you've heard it all
before and you look so calm and peaceful when you're passed out
on the floor swallow everything swallow everything you're the
pellet with the poison you're the hand that holds the pearl
you're an alcohol girl in an alcohol world swallow everything
swallow everything that's how a little bit of me becomes a part
of you and I know I shouldn't be complaining cause I enjoy it
too the eyes of a zombie and the will of a table for two swallow
everything reject nothing you plant a new emergency for every
one you kill it's a fluid it's a solid it's a powder it's a pill
swallow everything swallow everything seeing double feeling
single weigh the benefits and costs double single single double
double single double crossed swallow everything swallow
everything and someone will always be there for you to tell you
what to say and you know you'll never walk alone cause you can't
control your legs you know you'll believe it and it's only a
weekend away swallow everything reject nothing*


10.Not Guilty

How many times have I looked at her lies and covered my eyes
though I understand her inimical and diabolical plan? She's my
accuser I don't want to lose her just want to confuse her or try
to appease her you know it ain't easy just look in your freezer.
Not guilty but she's made up her mind I'm not guilty but I'll
swing for the crime I'm not guilty she's an eye in the sky I'm
not guilty. Forgotten by time accused of a crime I did not
commit it happened to be what happened to me just happened to
fit she's having a wigger bigger and bigger a hand on a trigger
she's trying to jump up she feels like a pump but she looks like
a sneaker. Not guilty but she's made up her mind not guilty but
I'm still gonna fry not guilty and I don't have much time not
guilty. I testify to my alibi but I'm sick of it all and
nothing's going to be solved I watch it all go by. Pinch me I'm
dreaming or waking up screaming the essence of being guilt by
attrition and sins of omission and acts of contriction she's
such a comer dumber and dumber the smash of the summer and I got
her number she peeks like a sneak but she squeaks like a pumper.
Not guilty but she's made up her mind I'm not guilty but I'll
swing for the crime I'm not guilty just a lie for a lie I'm not
guilty*


11.Game Over

I don't understand what you're asking me we put so much into
this machine we never get on the board so what do you want it
for? You think I should be with you when you make it to level
two and you've got nothing but time now and then game over game
over again. Now looking back on those happy times we should be
put away for our crimes. We got away with it then but who's to
say if we will again? We come together for more than games we
pull apart looking for some change but still we know just how
it's going to end game over game over again. And in this land of
a thousand kills, you lose control of your motor skills you lose
control of your life, and blow apart in a flash of light. But
after everything here we are and who'd have thought we would get
this far so when they say insert coins insert coins in game over
game over again*


12.Will You Still Love Me When I Don't Love You?

Will you still love me when I don't love you? I sure hope you
do. It would be an ego boost. When I leave you, will you still
be true, phone me up every night, ask me if I'm eating right?
Cause I can't stay with you, I've got other things to do, but
while I'm away it sure would be great if you would wait for me
cherish my memory keep my picture by your bed remember all the
things I said. And you know if you would it would make me look
good and everyone would say he's quite a guy. I hate working
it's so stupid. I'd much rather not have to do it. If you really
love me honey get another job and send me the money. If people
knew that I could make you do that then everyone would say he's
quite a guy*


13.Together Tonight

There was a time when I had you back I let it go by fear
prejudice pride melancholy or tact I don't really know why when
there was nothing but time I let it go by what am I coughing up
I don't even know why we should be talking not just tying up the
phone line let's be together tonight I don't know why I'm a time
bomb waiting to go off but even if I should lose my mind that's
really no loss even if I lose my mind it would be no loss even
though I know it wouldn't mean a whole lot I'm getting tired of
being rock 'em sock 'em robots let's be together tonight oh oh
oh oh oh oh if ever I have you back again I'm gonna hold on
tight the question is now the answer is when the meaning is all
night if ever I have you again well I'll hold on tight nothing
can hold me back when I hold you all night come over and I'll
pretend that everything is all right let's be together tonight*


14.God Bless America

Lyricist:Irving Berlin

Why don't you shave your legs
'Cause a little hair can make a lot of difference
Much more than whatever you're trying to prove

I know you've got your pride
And I know you think it, think it, think it makes a statement
But you've got a right to be just as ugly as you want to be

Beauty is only skin deep
And everybody's beautiful underneath
I believe in that but let's not push it

If you won't do it for me do it for our love
For planet earth and the little children
Do it for peace and humanity
And do it for the United States of America

And baby if you'll only shave your legs
The world will be a better place
For you, for me and for America
America, America, God bless America


15.Somebody Who Cares

I need somebody who cares I need somebody who cares I only want
someone to pay attention to me and maybe introduce me to life's
mystery I'm standing her looking for somebody who cares who
cares who cares I lost my puppy who cares I need some money who
cares I need someone I can tell about the trouble I'm in who
won't laugh or pretend to play the violin I know you're gonna do
that violin thing again who cares who cares who cares who cares
who cares they say that love is a wonderful thing they say it
will find a way they say I'm ok you're ok they think they know
everything everything everything one thing they know they really
know how to ruin my day if she is somewhere who cares tell her
I'll be there who cares I wonder if there's any hope left in
this world or if anybody cares for anything anymore that's what
I'm so frustrated for who cares who cares who cares*


16.Love Manifesto
